Incredible food!!! you can taste the cultural influence and Italian roots in the cuisine; one of the best Italian restaurants I’ve been to in nyc yet. And that says something. The food was excellent and extremely fresh the atmosphere and the staff are so inviting and welcoming the restaurant is extremely knowledgeable and accommodating. This place is a gem; if you’re exploring east 49th street don’t forget to stop here for some authentic Italian you won’t be disappointed. I celebrated my mothers birthday here we will certainly be returning again soon

I had a great experience here! I came here for just dessert and ended up having some drinks and a delicious margherita pizza! They also have happy hour exclusively at the bar from 3-6 pm. Service was fascinating,server will always check on us,we ordered an aperol spritz but it was a bit sour so they didn’t have a problem with redoing it,customer service is definitely given here. Food as I mentioned earlier was good,I also ordered a panacotta and we had a tiramisu! And that strawberry mule was pretty good too! I will be back for a full meal experience

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A True Italian Culinary Experience
From the very moment we walked in, the experience felt exceptional. We were greeted warmly by the host, whose genuine hospitality set the tone for the entire evening. There was no rush, only a sense of being truly welcomed, as if stepping into an elegant Italian home rather than just a restaurant.
The atmosphere was intimate and thoughtfully curated, but what truly elevated the night was the chef Alessandro. Rarely does one encounter a chef so deeply involved in the guest experience. He personally came to our table, not once but throughout the evening, taking the time to explain each dish with passion, precision, and pride. Every course felt like a story rooted in tradition, elevated by technique, and finished with unmistakable love for the craft.
Each plate arrived as a masterpiece. The balance of flavors, the quality of the ingredients, and the attention to detail were outstanding. Having the chef explain the inspiration, preparation, and origin of every dish transformed the meal into an unforgettable culinary journey.
The service was flawless from start to finish: attentive, seamless, and perfectly timed. Every need was anticipated without ever feeling intrusive, reinforcing the sense of personalized and full-service.
Without hesitation, a perfect score and a place I will enthusiastically recommend and return to again and again.

We had a party of 8 and were thrilled to get last minute reservations after our broadway play. The welcoming and cozy ambiance started as we walked in the door and were greeted by a lovely hostess. The waiter and manager were helpful, friendly and proficient. Our dinners were all delicious, including scrumptious Chicken Marsala and Margarita Pizza (just the best!) Two of us asked for a mocktail and were not disappointed by the bartender’s yummy cherry and pineapple concoction. The deserts were large portions including a tiramisu and chocolate gelato (best to split one!) Our leisurely Venetian dining experience was just perfect for our last night in New York City. Thank you La Piazza!

Stumbled on this amazing gem while going to the Saks light show. Between the amazing greeting by the hostess and the staff it was our best overall experience after a week in NYC! We had seafood pasta and tomato spaghetti and it was mouthwatering. How good can pasta be? Their chef figures out how to elevate the culinary experience. When we asked if they had a dessert we had experienced in Italy of lemon sorbet and prosecco they didn’t but then created it. My black Manhattan was delicious and the overall space very cool and inviting! Our only constructive advice? If you sit near the door on a winter night prepare for frequent chill as the customers come and go. One of those places that’s a must return next time we come to NY!

From the moment we walked in, the warm and inviting atmosphere made us feel instantly at home. The authentic Italian cuisine was beautifully presented and bursting with rich, vibrant flavors — every dish was a celebration of classic Italian culinary artistry. But what truly elevated our evening was the exceptional service provided by our waiter, Roen. From start to finish, Roen’s genuine friendliness, attention to detail, and effortless professionalism made us feel like honored guests. He guided us through the menu with thoughtful recommendations, perfectly paired our wine with each course, and made sure we had everything we needed before we even realized we wanted it. Roen’s warmth and expertise transformed a great meal into an extraordinary one — his service was truly the highlight of our night. Every moment at this restaurant felt special, and it’s clear that the staff takes pride in delivering a dining experience that stays with you long after the last bite.

The food is outstanding. Every dish tastes fresh, balanced, and thoughtfully prepared, with flavors that feel straight out of Italy. You can tell the kitchen respects tradition while still caring deeply about quality. Portions are generous without being heavy, and every bite feels intentional.
Service was just as impressive attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable without hovering. The staff makes you feel genuinely welcomed, whether it’s your first visit or your tenth.
La Piazza is perfect for a date night, a family dinner, or simply when you’re craving real Italian food done right. Easily one of those places you keep coming back to and confidently recommend to anyone. Truly a gem in the city.

After an impromptu trip to New York today, we stumbled upon this absolutely amazing GEM!!! It was Friday afternoon and a chalkboard sign on the sidewalk said and it was happy hour at La Piazza. After a very welcoming greeting, we were seated at a cozy corner of the bar and delighted by the menus choices and the staff’s attention! Troy was outstanding in his descriptions of how this restaurant’s chef carefully chose his menu based on the Venice and Pulia regions. We chose the Cacio Pepe and the Sauted mussels and clams and focaccia bread – and asked for them all to arrive together. Trust me- do this! And if you have room – the homemade cheesecake I don’t even have words for …..❤️.
Thank you Chef, Troy, Amber and all the outstanding staff for an incredible experience! Run to this place people!
It’s just a few blocks away from the theater district and spectacular!

La Piazza is hands-down the most authentic Italian restaurant I’ve experienced in a long time. From the very first bite, it feels like you’ve been transported straight to Italy — every dish is rich with traditional flavor, perfectly seasoned, and clearly made with real passion and care. Chef Alessandro is a perfectionist! He came to visit my table a few times to check in on our experience as well.
What truly sets La Piazza apart, though, is the people. The staff are unbelievably kind, welcoming, and genuinely happy to make you feel at home. Their customer service is absolutely supreme — attentive without hovering, warm without feeling forced, and always going the extra mile to ensure everything is perfect.
If you’re looking for true Italian food paired with world-class hospitality, La Piazza is the place. I can’t recommend it enough and will be returning again and again!
